A true story of one young Marine’s journey through boot camp and infantry school as he searches for the real definition of manhood.

A BOY DOESN’T BECOME A MAN BY ACCIDENT.

It’s a long, demanding process that requires adapting to a tough environment, facing challenges directly, and learning self-control- much like becoming a United States Marine.
Basic Warrior Training traces a young man’s journey from civilian to Marine, and after each account his mentor explains how those lessons in growth and spiritual maturity shape the path to manhood.

• Life is a spiritual battle, not just a series of circumstances.
• Passivity is dangerous, men naturally drift without intentional effort.
• Manhood does not happen automatically; it must be trained.
• A boy becomes a man through guidance, correction, and responsibility.

Becoming a Marine is hard – becoming a man can be harder. When young men pair self-discipline with God’s strength, they discover how to grow into their full potential. Each chapter ends with a manhood challenge and discussion questions that invite readers to establish their own principles and personalize their faith.

Each chapter is designed for fathers and mentors to walk through it with the young man in their life.

Everyone influences someone — whether you hold the title of mentor or not. Yet many people want to help others and simply don’t know where to begin. Pass It On provides a clear path, explaining the principles and structure behind meaningful mentoring and how to put them into practice. It first helps you examine your own life and address what God wants to shape in you, then guides you step-by-step into building a strong, life-changing mentoring relationship.

The mentoring relationship typically moves through stages:

1. Connection – building trust and safety
2. Understanding – learning the mentee’s story and struggles
3. Growth – addressing identity, habits, and decisions
4. Independence – the mentee learns to walk with God personally
5. Multiplication – the mentee eventually mentors someone else

 
This is why the book is called Pass It On — growth is meant to continue from person to person.

Mentoring is more than helping someone else grow — it changes you too. As you invest in another person, you learn patience, humility, compassion, and how to confront your own struggles honestly. Through Pass It On, you can grow in confidence, discover your purpose, and become a steady source of encouragement and God’s love in the lives of those around you.

Also available as an eBook.
